Creamy Tomato Soup
Here’s a guaranteed crowd-pleaser that comes from an old cookbook I got from my mom. This soup makes a great, fast weeknight dinner or doubles as a starter. Pantry cooking—my absolute favorite. Especially since I always have Boursin, diced tomatoes and a jar of pesto on hand. You’ll put this on the table in no time. It doesn’t require complicated ingredients unless you want it to—you can tweak it to…
Roasted Tomato & Vegetable Soup
One of my favorite Dutch food shows is called: ‘Over de kook“. It’s a show, or better yet, a contest between five amateur chefs battling it out in a restaurant kitchen using their favorite recipes.

Summer Minestrone
A flavor bomb, and a healthy one to boot. That’s what this soup chockfull of fresh local produce is. There’s no other way to put it.

When Marc van der Linden—a Dutch royalty journalist and chief-editor of Royalty Magazine—tweeted his recipe, I was intrigued. It seemed so simple yet so tomatey, for lack of a better word. Exactly how any unpretentious home-made tomato soup should be; comfort food…
Curried Lentil Soup
I gave my old lentil soup a make-over and it magically transformed itself into a thick, hearty and fragrant stew-like soup that makes a full meal.
Ribollita
I still had some celery stalks in my fridge that needed to be used up. So, I did what any woman in dire need of a recipe would do; I confiscated a friend’s cookbook. While flipping through the pages I happened upon this recipe and just knew I had to make it. What is Ribollita? It’s an Tuscan country soup and literally translated it would mean “reboiled”. Apparently this soup was…
